  1. If they are anything size wise like the robes then they will be of no use….Not designed for little people!
  2. The pjs were not available on our last cruise, we were told they had supply issues so don’t build up your hopes too high!
  3. Good point about the handicap suite….I always feel really sorry when we read posts from people who have booked a ‘guarantee’ or ‘move up’ and then boarded to find a room designed for a wheelchair user, obviously not realising that it is a real possibility. The fact a key perk for the OP was a bath makes questioning even more important…
  4. So pleased for you! It really makes a difference if you arrange things in advance. It also adds to their ease if you group order…The odd time we have arranged something different (usually in Murano) we have all requested the ‘special order’. Again the clear message that pre arranging is easier than last minute requests….
  5. When your shoreside concierge contacts you it is useful to have your completed list ready and to email it after the conversation. Relying on verbal communication only in our experience results in errors. We also take two copies on board with us. One for the butler just in case the shoreside service hasn’t worked (does occasionally happen) and one for us to remind us of our dining plan! The shoreside concierge may mail you a list of spirits to choose from. Do not feel limited by it. Basically anything on the Premium list. For example, there is no cognac on the list but we always order it… Think about any other bits and bobs you may enjoy… We like a decent fruit bowl and also a kettle and tea tray (yes we are Brits…). You are right to pre book your on board dining. The PRH will try to ensure any speciality dining requests once on board but they (and the speciality restaurants) really appreciate you pre booking. Easier for them if you pre book then cancel or adjust once on board than trying to get you in to the most popular restaurants last minute. If you are celebrating a special occasion on board add it to your list. If you want to arrange a special in suite meal one evening wait until you are on board and talk to the PRH personally. Often asking their advice about what they could arrange results in a treat not on any menu…We always give the PRH 24 hours warning if we want a ‘special’ in suite meal or to host a sail away etc. Once on board remember to touch base with the Retreat concierge. If you would like a galley tour, a bridge tour….let him/her know. These were postponed during early post covid cruises but may now be operating and can be enjoyable. The PRH will generally look after your in suite needs whilst the concierge will look after ‘ship’ issues…Basically anything you would normally go to guest services with. The beauty of suite cruising on Celebrity is you have a big ship to explore and the more ‘club’ ambiance of the Retreat areas. We tend to split our time between the two…We tend to enjoy a quiet pre dinner drink in the Retreat Lounge but then post dinner we will go to one of the more lively bars post dinner…As a first time Celebrity cruiser it will be nice for you to get a taster of the full ship experience. Sincere best wishes for a fantastic cruise…
